ACADEMICS: THE SJI APPROACH
Faculty
The teachers at SJI are experienced local teachers, joined by a group of engaging and experienced IB teachers recruited internationally with a number of them being IB Examiners. Together, they provide a richly diverse and stimulating learning environment for our students.
SJI teachers are passionate about encouraging a love for learning. They model for students how to learn independently and with others, so that they can navigate and sustain these principles throughout life. Our teachers are, in the Lasallian tradition, big brothers and sisters to the youth under their charge. The strong pastoral care in SJI is manifested in our teachers who strongly believe in and live out the spiritual culture of the school.
Active Learning In Small Groups
Learning is typically conducted in tutorial groups of about 20 students, which will facilitate a more engaging and intellectually-active experience, and offer strong personal attention for each student. Our goal is to have every student become an engaged learner who participates actively during lessons.
Our teachers set high expectations and create a challenging and thought-provoking environment. We encourage our students to be intellectually curious while exposing them to a wide variety of views. To help our students enjoy learning, our teachers encourage the students to develop strategies to lead their own learning and to have greater responsibility for their own development.
